Celebrated for his courageous reporting on the crucial issues of our time, Hedges, who graduated from seminary at Harvard Divinity School, explores the challenge of living according to these moral precepts we have tried to follow, often unsuccessfully, for the past 6,000 years. The commandments, he writes, do not save us from evil. Instead they save us from committing evil. Inspired by unyielding faith, rigorous moral scrutiny, and a fierce sense of social responsibility, Hedges offers a breathtaking meditation on modern life. Losing Moses on the Freeway illustrates how the commandments usually choose us -- and how we are rarely able to choose them. We cannot protect ourselves from theft, greed, adultery, or envy, nor from the impulses that lead us to commit evil acts. In honoring the commandments, we free ourselves from self-worship and are called back to the healing solidarity of community. It is in the self-sacrifice championed by the commandments that integrity, commitment, and, finally, love are made possible. Review: Life Changing if you really get it - I’m a voracious reader of fiction and non fiction rotating from escape reading to philosophy . Every once in awhile one of these books on learning about ideas has a deeper resonance that bids you follow and if you do it has the power to shift your expectations of Life and in Life. This is just such a book. Considering it not a work on religion is a requirement. It is however the system of values of all Western civilization and the crux of our views on them today matters . Review: Living it is harder than posting it at the courthouse - Chris Hedges takes each of the Ten Commandments, interprets it, and through personal experience or anecdotes shows how violating this commandment causes unhappiness, misery, even war and destruction. Solid biblical backing from his seminary days does not get in the way of his teaching valuable lessons - not as a hypocritical moralizer, but as someone who (though his many and varied experiences in living) has found the truth in it all. The final chapter shows that love (the mysterious force that ties it all together, and without which happiness is impossible) emanates from following the commandments and their summation: having life means living for others. An interesting, educational and uplifting read. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,732,333 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,760 in Ethics & Moral Teaching in Christian Theology #2,361 in Religion & Philosophy (Books) #4,409 in Philosophy of Ethics & Morality | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 139 Reviews | ## Images ![Losing Moses on the Freeway: The 10 Commandments in America - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61DPDceo5nL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Life Changing if you really get it *by J***A on October 9, 2024* I’m a voracious reader of fiction and non fiction rotating from escape reading to philosophy .

Solid biblical backing from his seminary days does not get in the way of his teaching valuable lessons - not as a hypocritical moralizer, but as someone who (though his many and varied experiences in living) has found the truth in it all.

An interesting, educational and uplifting read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspirational *by C***E on May 1, 2007* Chris Hedges breathes new life into the Ten Commandments. Devoting a chapter to each commandment, he relates them to modern life in a highly provocative manner outside the context of religion. Each chapter is a short story in itself, usually with him as the protagonist, imbuing them with a memoir-like quality except for an overabundance of musing, which is where his real power lies. He speaks with great passion from a keen intellect hewn from experience and religious scholarship. The Family: Honor your father and your mother, was my most favorite chapter recounting a speech he delivered in May 2003 to the graduating class of Rockford College. It was a time when the majority of Americans still supported the Iraq War, when most believed in its mission, shortly after a media blitz with President Bush pictured standing on an aircraft carrier claiming victory behind a banner that read "Mission Accomplished" (incidentally, today is its fourth-year anniversary). Chris Hedges inflamed many that day with caustic words highly critical of the wisdom behind our invasion of Iraq, accurately predicting a future that has become reality. I admire this man and I won't be satisfied until I've read all of his books. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/11428462-losing-moses-on-the-freeway-the-10-commandments-in-america](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/11428462-losing-moses-on-the-freeway-the-10-commandments-in-america) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-15*
